2 minggu lepas aku sempat pegi Korea Plaza di Menara Hap Seng untuk attend seminar for muslim travellers. Ni sebenarnye kali kedua aku pegi such seminar. Event kali ni aku rase lagi interesting sebab kali ni mmg focus untuk muslim so diorang banyak stresskan tempat2 makan for muslim kat Seoul . Some places mmg dah well known but ade a few yg baru bagi aku. Pastu diorang ade jugak jemput speaker yg dah berkali2 travel ke korea untuk bagi few tips and tricks. Overall, the event was good and I would recommend this event to those who are going to south korea for the first time. However this kinda of event is only open to limited number of participants so kene apply dulu for your seat. Korea Plaza will announce the event in their website so do check out this page regularly.

Apparently getting FT Island's concert ticket in Japan is not as easy as the one in Seoul. And to make things worst, all tickets are sold out !!! I have no choice but to start looking for third party services to secure one ticket for me through auctions. Tapi harga pulak dah markup sket, pastu seats plak unknown, and there are risks of buying auction tickets such as no refund in case the concert is cancelled, or the seller to sebenarnye a scammer, and etc etc ... ehh banyak plak cabaran nak tengok adik2 rumah kuning kat jepun nih :S ... Wish me luck!

Pros:
Good response from the staffs. All emails were answered in just a matter of hours. The staffs speak excellent English so communication is not a problem.
They even collect your laundry from the ampaian in case you didn't get to collect them. Ampaian semua kat rooftop and the door to the rooftop close at 8.30pm everyday.
Luggage storage is provided just in case you reach the hostel earlier than the check-in time.
Bilik kitorang betul2 kat depan toilet. Senang nak buat bisnes pagi2, takyah ulang alik kluar masuk bilik tengok ade org tgh queue ke tak

Cons:
Private twin room is so small. Rase lemas at times.
Dining place is too cramp. Pagi2 mmg kene bersesak sket nak make our breakfast.
Long queue for showers in the morning.
Two power sockets available in our room but only one can be used. Thank god we brought our own extension plug.
Steep stairs.

Overall, aku puas hati with the facilities, cumenye hostel ni kecik pastu time kitorang stay tu mmg time peak so ramai dok situ ... terase mcm cramp je dok dlm hostel ... according to the staff, the hostel used to be a 3-storey house, then converted into hostel ... hence the ciputness in size... kalau aku happen to be in Tokyo again and still on a tight budget, i would choose this hostel again ... the price is reasonable, the location is ok and there is a direct train from both Narita and Haneda airports to Asakusa station on Toei Line.
